Theme: Sadness

assistant
Here I stand
So overwhelmed by sadness
That I don't understand
The anguish and pain that I confess

My swollen eyes, hidden fear
The sorrow in my heart
Have left me here
With a very heavy start.

My tears that fall
Are like a deep waterfall
They can't be contained 
Just like sorrow from days past remains

The pains that I feel
Far too real
My longing tears
Fall endlessly throughout the years

But even in this darkness, I fight
Search for the courage I need to take flight.
